A critically-important addition to the advanced 2D gridding, contouring, and drillhole mapping tools already available in Target for ArcGIS, this update will make 3D visualization the standard for day-to-day analysis of multidisciplinary data. This major enhancement to Target for ArcGIS will enable geologists to quickly visualize surfaces, drill holes, sections, grids, geophysical models and voxels – in 3D – within ESRI’s ArcView environment. Control elements are also accessible via keyboard shortcuts.Geosoft, a leading provider of geospatial software for earth sciences industries, is pleased to announce an important update to its Target for ArcGIS software – a powerful, easy-to-use 3D subsurface viewer. The user has only to key in the URL to BGR's 3D viewer.Ĭontrol on the PC requires the use of a mouse or touch gestures on tablets and smartphones, map applications are not fully accessible. The flexible layout of the web application adapt itself to various mobile devices like tablets and smartphones automatically. Further hints for the usage of the web application are found on the graphical user interface. Filter functions, spatial measuring tools and storing of scalable screen shots complete the functionalities. Moreover, virtual boreholes and profile sections can be interactively created. By means of the slicer function parts of the model can be blanked out, so the user gains more detailed insights into the model. Additionally, the user has the choice between different topographic data which can be put on top of the model. The web application offers essential tools to explore the 3D model such as rotation, zoom and panning functions, or adjustment of the exaggeration in vertical direction.

Predefined camera positions give a quick access to the visualisation of a model. The user can chose which model data are to be exported, thereby loading the data to the own computer. The information belonging to a horizon can be queried by clicking with the mouse on the displayed object. Each of the geologic horizons of a model can be separately switched on and off. 3D viewer showing the model of geothermal reservoir Horstberg and slicer tool Source: BGR Open 3D ViewerīGR's 3D web viewer allows for a visualisation of the its produced 3D subsurface models from various perspectives and camera positions by using only a web browser.
